Long Weekend Wrap-Up and POTG Radio Tonight

We've been laying low for most of the weekend and staying away from the computer and Twitter for the most part, but we are back and ready to go for the last week of the season.

It was thrilling for the Predators to clinch on their own merit on Saturday, as opposed to backing in when another team lost. With the Wings losing again on Sunday, the Preds can control their own destiny to finish above Detroit in the standings for the first time in franchise history.

Best I can figure, the Predators still have an outside shot at fourth place. The Preds would have to win their last two games and Phoenix would have to lose their last three. Also, the Preds would have to win by three goals against Phoenix on Wednesday to secure the tiebreaker, which would fall to goal differential. I can't find a definitive source to see if a goal awarded for a shoot out win actually counts.

The Kings could guarantee fifth place by winning their last four games.

As far as playoff opponents go, it is still anyone's guess as to how things will fall out, and who the Predators will face. San Jose, Chicago, Vancouver and Phoenix are all possible depending on how the last week plays out.

Tonight's POTG Radio Show...

On tonight's show, we will have Section 303's Jeremy Gover as our special guest. He was in Detroit on Saturday when the Predators clinched their playoff berth. We will get the whole story on his trip and talk about the Preds and how the playoffs are shaping up.
